We’re in the process of doing up our house. Which means that there’s a bunch of stuff that we need to get rid of that’s not really good enough to ebay, but a wee bit too good/big to chuck in the bin.

So, we joined our local Freecycle group. It’s great, we offer stuff that we can’t use and people come and take it away for us. Occasionally, someone else offers something that we can’t resist. Spiffy.

Today, we freecycled a fireplace and some wooden CD racks and had them immediately taken by a Brenda, a Flickr friend of mine, and Cath Tyler, who is involved with NEOG - suppliers of our weekly veg box - and is a fine singer and a regular at the Cumberland Arms singing sessions.
